In the following example, the second router is unable to forward the
outbound packet, as indicated by the asterisks (***) under the Dir
heading. Note that the hop count remains at 1, since the packet crossed
only one router.

ppp
The ppp command allows a user at a remote host to dial into a modem
attached to the Remote Annex and convert the CLI port to a PPP interface.
Resetting the port returns it to CLI mode. The syntax is:
ppp
The command display looks like this:
annex: ppp
Switching to PPP and starting LCP and ATCP negotiations.
If you issue the ppp command, and the port is not configured properly
for PPP, the terminal displays This port cannot be used for PPP (see
Point-to-point Protocol (PPP) on page A-111 for more details).
Although ppp is a user level command, only the superuser help
command displays information about it.
You cannot apply the minimum uniqueness feature to ppp.
